*[Enwl-eng] BigTech is doing what??

[ENWL]

            EU politicians are drafting the final version of the legislation 
that could rein in Big Tech platforms -- and end their days of putting 
profit over all else.

            But the Big Tech lobby is on a dangerous mission: they are 
pushing to include a provision in this legislation which would shield their 
companies from having to share crucial information that could save millions 
of people from Covid disinformation, hate speech, scams and more.

            But we can stop this.

            These politicians care about their public image and our pressure 
can make sure they do the right thing. They are deciding on this provision 
as we speak -- Will you send a Tweet to key MEPs asking them to vote for the 
people not Big Tech billionaires?



            Send a tweet

            The harms of social media and Big tech are only known thanks to 
the herculean efforts of civil society and journalists, so now, they want to 
block us from accessing information that exposes their true colours --  
claiming these are "trade secrets". This is absurd!

            We can’t let these companies shape our laws. If we show Europe’s 
politicians that we -- the people -- are watching their every move, we can 
push them into acting for the interests of the public, not Big Tech profits.

            Will you help by sending a Tweet to MEPs to vote for the people 
not the billionaires?
